In marine and freshwater oxygen-deficient zones, the remineralization of sinking organic matter from the photic zone is central to driving nitrogen loss. Deep blooms of photosynthetic …
The availability of nitrogen (N) is crucial for both the productivity of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems globally. However, the overuse of artificial fertilizers and the energy required to …
Fixed nitrogen is released by anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) and/or denitrification from (marine) ecosystems. Nitrite, the terminal electron acceptor of the …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential element in biological systems and one that often limits production in both aquatic and terrestrial systems. Due to its requirement in biological …

Two 16S rRNA gene-based PCR primer sets (Brod541F/Amx820R and A438f/A684r) for detecting anammox bacteria were compared using sediments from Mai Po wetlands (MP) …
Genetic markers and geochemical assays of microbial nitrogen cycling processes, including autotrophic and heterotrophic denitrification, anammox, ammonia oxidation, and nitrite …

The community structures of anammox bacteria in sediments along an anthropogenic inorganic nitrogen input gradient were further delineated with the newly available …
Fixed nitrogen is a limiting nutrient in many marine environments. Only a subset of the microbial community has the ability to fix dinitrogen gas (N 2). Here, we document the …
Large quantities of carbon are stored in marine dissolved organic matter (DOM), and its recycling has a major effect on the carbon cycle. Microbes are responsible for turnover of …
